Wetek Play 2 boot from USB ?

Hi guys...I've been running an early (8.0.2cs) version of Libreelec on my play 2 since some time in 2016 without issue. It failed yesterday with 'system broken beyond repair' msg. Its been running fine from a 16GB SD card and I think the card has failed. So I was wondering, as I don't have a functional SD card available (plenty of fakes though lol all refunded which was good) I was wondering if the Play 2 can boot into LE from a USB memory stick. I have the USB SD creator tool and 8.2.5 of LE for the Wetek Play2....

It should work with the right combination of autoscript files on the USB, but I don't think the 8.2.x images have the right combination. Mainline kernel images should boot, but those won't be quite as functional right now (getting there, but still work in progress). The easiest option is probably to get another SD card.
